Upgrading to Ubuntu Server 16.04

This weekend it’s going to be wet and rainy, so I’m going to make a start on upgrading my personal servers from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04. I was hoping to keep 14.04 in place for ~5 years, but due to this, and this, I’m going to perform the upgrade a little earlier than planned.

I’ve currently got 3 servers running 14.04, a development server, a production server, and a storage server. I’m confident that the upgrade will go smoothly (I’ve been working with 16.04 on several servers at work and I’m pretty familiar with it, so I’m not expecting too many surprises), but if I do experience any issues, I’ll write an update.
